Serving the Southwest Madison Community
Good Shepherd opened a food pantry housed at our Madison Campus in 2004. It serves our extended neighborhood and is open on one day a week to meet emergency food needs of families/individuals in our area. Our Pantry operates Thursday mornings from 9:30 a.m. to noon and Thursday evenings from 5:30 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. Volunteers serve about once a month.
How to receive food assistance
The pantry provides emergency food assistance to residents in the 53711 or 53719 zip code areas. Guests receive approx. 4 days of groceries per household and may receive food every two weeks. Please bring an ID for each member of your household and any document that would verify your address and zip code.
First time shoppers should arrive at least 30 minutes before the scheduled closing time and must bring identification documentation for each member of the household and proof of residency in the service area. No proof of citizenship or economic need is required. The pantry may be visited one time every other week. Quantity of food distributed is based on household size and generally includes: fruit and vegetables, meat, canned goods, dairy, bread, household products and personal products.

Volunteer to Serve at the Pantry
